  • I couldn’t get thro gf an episode!

    It’s so much gossip and filler vs a true crime podcast. It’s like they are bickering about the case.

    So many ads! Not worth your time.

  • Yowza 😳

    After listening to this podcast for about 30 seconds, I stopped the show to look up what happened to this guy on the internet. The narration, at best, is terrible. Save yourself some time and find a better way to spend your time, other than on this podcast.

  • Insensitive

    I wanted to give this show a chance, but honestly, it was awful. The number of insensitive comments made during the Idaho 4 discussion was shocking, and what made it worse was that they even added actual jokes while talking about the case. Hearing a co-host say things like “I guess” or “I think” when answering questions about the victims is unacceptable. If you’re going to cover a case like this, the bare minimum is doing proper research and having the decency to know the victims’ information be... more

  • Used to be a fan - left

    This used to be my favorite true crime podcast until the hosts made incredibly insensitive comments about rape. They are clearly not trauma informed in the arena as evidenced in their Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, Menedez Brothers, and even an episode where the host of Military Murders guested and had to tell them that “consent under duress is not consent”, and the hosts both had a “huh…..” reaction. I understand they have switched out a host now, but I was so triggered that I will never come back.... more

  • New show

    I loved the old shows with Tori but the new shows are too giggly and immature and it seems like the hosts are just filling space. The main stories get lost in all of the laughing and side stories.
